So this is just showing a bit of your ignorance of stats.

The general notion of compound risk is not specific to MSE loss. You can formulate it for any loss function, including L1 loss which you seem to prefer.

Steins paradox and James Stein estimator is just a special case for normal random variables and MSE loss of the more general theory of compound estimation, which is trying to find an estimator which can leverage all the data to reduce overall error.

This idea, compound estimation and James-Stein, is by now out-dated. Later came the invention of empirical Bayes estimation and the more modern bayesian hierarchical modelling eventually once we had compute for that.

One thing you can recover from EB is the James-Stein estimator, as a special case, in fact, you can design much better families of estimators that are optimal with respect to Bayes risk in compound estimation settings.

This is broadly useful in pretty much any situation where you have a large scale experiment where many small samples are drawn and similar stats are computed in parallel, or when the data has a natural hierarchical structure. For examples, biostats, but also various internet data applications.

so yeah, suggest to be a bit more open to ideas you dont know anything about. @zeroonetwothree is not agreeing with you here, they're pointing out that you cooked up an irrelevant "example" and then claim the technique doesnt make sense there. Of course, it doesnt, but thats not because the idea of JS isnt broadly useful.

----

Another thing is that JS estimator can be viewed as an example of improving overall bias-variance by regularization, although the connection to regularization as most people in ML use it is maybe less obvious. If you think regularization isn't broadly applicable and very important... i've got some news for you.

This all seems very unhealthy long-term.
I did always kind of wonder if i'm even using the right heart rate zones. But it's not like I am trying to train for any specific purpose. Just to be healthy, so I doubt I need to go to the level of doing a lab test to find that out.

I can definitely just increase the intensity.

Overall I don't feel like I have ever been in touch with my body or mood or things like that.

Like I don't know how I would judge how well I slept on a given night. I don't normally wake up in the middle of the night or anything like that. I don't really feel I can gauge my sleep quality by how I feel when I wake up because when I wake up for work on a weekday I am always tired. I just assume that's because I am not a morning person, and I only feel rested and good if I wake up more like around 10-11am on a day that I don't have to be up earlier.

As for mood, I rarely feel like I am in tune with that much either. Maybe it's a learned skill and I just never took the time to develop it or something. I feel more or less the same the vast majority of the time and that's about how well I can put it. If my mood is changing, it's not something I normally "notice" on its own I guess.

It's always a struggle for me to decide what exactly to do, because I feel like when looking up that information all you find is that it's all contradictory in some way the more you keep reading into it.

Rust `Box` = C++ `std::unique_ptr`, both have the same ABI (just pointers)

Rust `Arc` = C++ `std::shared_ptr`

Rust `Rc` = C++ `std::shared_ptr` but using a simple integer instead of an atomic so it is not thread safe

`Arc` and `Rc` do not allow you to mutate their contents directly so instead you should use "interior mutability" using something like a `Mutex` (thread-safe) or `RefCell` (not thread-safe), which have runtime checks to ensure no undefined behaviour is introduced. So `Arc<Mutex<T>>` makes it possible to mutate `T`, but `Arc<T>` cannot. Some types like atomics do not require mutability at all, so an `Arc<AtomicBool>` can be mutated directly.

An example of a big C++ codebase using something similar is Chromium, where `std::shared_ptr` is forbidden and `base::RefCounted` (Rust `Rc`) and `base::RefCountedThreadSafe` (Rust `Arc`) should be used instead. WebKit does this too.

Oh man. The picture of that Starship-1 cabinet took me back to 1979? 1980? at the amazing arcade at the Forum 303 Mall.

In retrospect, it seems the Atari Coin-op "style" existed because of Mike's consistent, cohesive team. He will be sorely missed.

This is the game changer. More memory and more interconnect speed = better

This is the better interconnect... its only useful if your using it. IF you can fit your workload in the 80gb of the H100 then the SXM becomes far less useful.

My experience the last few months is that the saying "It's who you know, not what you know." is alive and well. For jobs where I met the hiring manager (referral, networking, etc.) I had 2 out of 3 applications lead to offers. For resumes submitted online I had 1 out of 50 even respond.

Obviously there's some alignment - I know people working in the area I know best - but from what I've experienced the hiring teams at small companies are struggling almost as much as candidates to figure out this brave new world.

Most industries have some kind of private discussion forums, which could be sponsored by a professional organization or related media company or just some guy.

In technical organizations (all organizations really), simplicity is also a hard sell: you need people in charge with the ability to say "no" to a lot of ideas. And no one wants to be on the receiving end of a "no".

Those who favour simplicity will always be outnumbered, and their position will be untenable unless the entire top management team agrees. Good luck with that.

It is also one the reasons why the BDFL model works so much better: you need the ability to say "no" a lot.

It's over training syndrome, caused by too much training without enough rest. The athletes that try to push through struggle to perform as well.
TL;DR: It’s not good to exercise too much with no rest. Your body won’t actually be able to repair itself to how you were before the workout, let alone improve at all. Someone’s coach gave them a training plan that was bad and caused this.

"The video looks convincing but it could also be faked"

I don't think it's faked, what's shown here is what you'd expect. I've been on 'live' FM towers and the RF burned holes in my jeans at my knees (my knees were rapped around the metal tower and the induced RF in the tower zapped holes through the material in my jeans and then burned holes in my skin).

On AM the sound that you're hearing is demodulation caused by resistive non-lineararity in the carbon caused by the burning/heating process. This is quite a common phenomenon with high powered AM transmitters.
I don't understand what you mean. Who assumes what?

Take any point and shrink your least-squares estimator in that direction. You get an estimator that it's strictly better - in some technical sense - which renders the original estimator inadmissible - in some technical sense.

That's a mathematical fact, it has nothing to do with prior information about the problem.

8.x m is about the largest single mirror that can be cast with current technology. Above that, segmented wins. Giant Magellan[0] will use multiple 8m mirrors to get to ~25m total aperture. The Thirty Meter Telescope[0] and the European Extremely Large Telescope (39m) will be segmented.

The VRO picked the single mirror approach for lower complexity and the ability to lock the primary and tertiary mirrors into one monolithic structure. For this, they accepted some higher fabrication risk.

Not quite: If the origin is within a standard deviation of |x|² or so (depending on D), then term inside the ReLU is negative, and the adjustment is exactly zero. If the origin is moderately far away from x, then the adjustment is large. If the origin is a vast distance from x, then the adjustment is small in relative terms, but not in absolute terms. The scaling factor approaches zero for large |x| but the displacement between x and û converges toward a constant.

Either way, this is absurd unless we have some additional background information about μ other than our sample x itself. But it's easy to resolve the paradox: Since the choice of origin is arbitrary (unless it isn't!), select our coordinate system such that x = 0, then the adjustment is also zero, and then the James-Stein estimator agrees that û = x = 0.

The box isn't the only justification for the higher price. It's just an example. If apple cares that much about the box, imagine the effort they put into the rest of the hardware, software, and experience.

> Are you saying that only physical persons can own a property and that only the owner can live in it? Good luck with that idea. And it does sound like communism when you unwind it.

If we're worrying about how things sound, the total callousness with which Hacker News treats the homeless sounds like sociopathy.

> I still believe that an oversupply of houses would crash prices. Make too many affordable houses so that they don't work as investments and really stay affordable.

Good. Crash prices. Houses are for living in, not for investing in.

> But Homelessness is a mental health issue for the most part, so it isn't going away.

Homelessness is more of a cause of mental health issues than a result of mental health issues. No mental health treatment can be effective for a patient experience the ongoing trauma of homelessness. The solution to homelessness is homes.

In countries that care about their people instead of housing profits, they provide homes for the homeless. As it turns out, effectively no one is so mentally ill that they choose to be homeless in those countries.

"Homelessness is a mental health issue" is complete bullshit used to justify not helping in ways that hurt some people's profits. Homelessness isn't a mental health issue, it's a lack of homes issue.

the notional ability to leave the cartel doesn’t mean there isn’t anticompetitive cartel pressure in action. let alone the direct consequences of breaking the contract or any other adverse action resulting.

idk why some people are so desperate to ignore the documented pressures here, like are people just completely opposed to the idea that cartels can exist without a notarized agreement to break the law? And apparently you literally don’t even think that is sufficient, because “you could just break the contract” or something lmao.

the amount of openly bad-faith posting and commenting on HN has only continued to get worse and I have to think it’s partially due to the fact that it’s not supposed to be acknowledged.

increasingly realizing the guy whose site redirects referrers from HN to a nutsack is right.

People familiar with your product need a reference and exhaustive lists, not explanation for different fields spread over 10 tutorial pages. Focus on those that use the product day in and day out, not solely on the "onboarding" procedure.

You really need at least three documentation targets:

- onboarding the newbies workflows/tutorials
- intermediate "focus on the important bits" workflows/tutorials
- exhaustive references

There might be other useful ones as well, but I never see those three hit at the same time adequately.

Long story short: knowing writing systems is super fun but often you need to know more about the actual language. That's especially true with languages like Arabic that don't spell out all the vowels
